Dear Anne,
[ act.credoaction.com/sign/Congress_Investigate_Trump ]Republicans want to end
the investigation into
Trumpâ€™s Russia ties. We
cannot let them.
Republicans have sought every chance to delegitimize special counsel
Robert Mueller. Now, they are ramping up their attempts to derail
Muellerâ€™s inquiry into Trumpâ€™s Russia ties with calls to shut down the
parallel, ongoing congressional investigations, thus making it appear as
if Mueller is on a wild goose chase.^1
Republicans have spent months stymying the investigation by refusing to
schedule interviews with key witnesses and sitting on requests from
Democrats to subpoena relevant documents. Now powerful House Republican
leaders such as Rep. Trey Gowdy â€“ an extreme right-wing Republican
ideologue â€“ are reportedly talking about shutting down the
investigation.^2 This is unacceptable.
Trumpâ€™s lapdogs in Congress are making up excuses to conclude their
investigation into Trumpâ€™s Russia ties to pressure Mueller to end his
investigation â€“ and shut down Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff who have
relentlessly pursued the truth. We need a large outcry right now to shame
Republicans into continuing their investigation.

investigation. Click here to sign the petition.
There is no way congressional investigators have actually finished their
work. No one yet knows the full extent of Trumpâ€™s ties to Russia, and
special counsel Mueller keeps uncovering new information that warrants
congressional investigation.
Republicans are sabotaging an investigation with national security
implications. House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes repeatedly
refused requests from his Democratic colleagues for interviews with as
many as 30 witnesses and blocked potential subpoenas of relevant
documents.^3 Financial crimes are notoriously difficult to uncover, and
thorough investigations can take years.^4
It is evident the investigation to date has not been sufficiently
thorough. Democratic Congressman Jim Himes says that there are so many
unanswered questions that Democrats would have to list them in a minority
report if Republicans get their way. ^5
Mueller and the congressional investigators have two different jobs.
Muellerâ€™s narrow focus is on whether anyone connected to the Trump
organization â€“ or Trump himself â€“ committed specific crimes by
coordinating with Russians. Congress is investigating Russiaâ€™s attempt to
hijack our democracy and whether Trump or his campaign engaged in shameful
and improper collusion with Russia even if it does not violate specific
laws. Congressâ€™ responsibility is to ensure thorough fact finding to
uncover answers for the American public. Republicans are refusing to get
the real facts in a bid to undermine Robert Mueller, and we cannot let
that happen.

The effort to derail Mueller began among fringe supporters and the
alt-right fake news, but Trump Republicans are now blatantly launching a
systematic and coordinated attack on his investigation. The current
Republican attempts to end the ongoing congressional investigations are
part of an alliance with the extreme right-wing and Trump sycophants in
Congress to systematically undermine Mueller and his investigation.^6 By
insisting that there are no other questions to ask, or evidence to
examine, Republicans hope to create a media firestorm from the extreme
right wing that will either shut down or sabotage Muellerâ€™s investigation.
The public has a right to know the extent of the potential collusion
between Trump and his associates and the Kremlin. As long as there are
witnesses to interview, and questions remain, Congress must keep up this
crucial work.
